  In the invention according to claim 6, the right-binding comic book can be read by turning a piece of paper from the right-bound cover side in the same way as a normal right-binding type comic book, As with a binding-type comic book, you can turn a piece of paper from the left-bound cover and read it. In other words, comics with vertical lines are usually published with right binding, and comics with horizontal lines are generally published with left binding. However, comics with vertical lines (for example, Japanese) and lines are written horizontally. If comics (for example, in English) were mixed in a right-bound book or a left-bound book, at least one of the comics with the vertical writing of these lines would reverse the page. In the case of the present invention, what must be read is a teaching material for language learning that is more excellent in practical use, such as its reverse flow can be eliminated.

  Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable (how to carry out the invention) will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

  The book body 1 of the present invention is provided with a comic book composed of a pictorial element a such as a person image and background, and a character element b such as a serif and a commentary in the figure. Specifically, one of the front and back covers of the book body 1 is a right binding cover 2R, and the other is a left binding cover 2L. A large number of paper sheets 3 constituting each page of the book body 1 are the right binding cover 2R. Two of the right-bound comic book 4 that is read from the side (turned from left to right) and the left-bound comic book 5 that is read from the left-bound cover 2L side (turned from right to left) It has two comics.

  The right-binding comic book 4 and the left-binding comic book 5 that are read from the opposite sides have the same comic composition with the same content and the same frame layout, but the lines and commentary in the figure, etc. The character elements b have the same content and one is written in a predetermined language A and the other is written in a predetermined language B.

  Therefore, by comparing the right-bound comic book 4 and the left-bound comic book 5 (compare the same frame on which the same picture element a is written), the character element b written in the languages A and B with the same contents is used. Can be contrasted.

  Therefore, the present invention is, for example, the right-binding comic book 4 and the left-binding comic book of the present invention, as in the case of performing language learning by reading the English version of the original and the Japanese version of the translated book. Language reading can be performed by reading and comparing the book 5 and reading the character element b written in different languages A and B in contrast.

  Moreover, language learning can be done by reading comics, so if you use the present invention, you can learn comics without compromising the willingness of young people, such as junior and senior high school students (compared to studying with a general textbook). It is a fun way to acquire language skills.

  Also, in the case of a book composed almost entirely of characters, such as a novel, for example, when comparing a predetermined sentence on a predetermined page of a predetermined page of an English version book with a corresponding Japanese sentence It is difficult to find the predetermined sentence from the book of the version, but in the case of a comic, it is only necessary to find a predetermined frame in which the picture element a having the same frame division and the same content is drawn. In this respect, it is very easy to find the character element b corresponding to the character element b of one comic book (corresponding to the translation) and the character element b of the other comic book. It is an excellent teaching material that is suitable and can contribute to improving learners' language skills efficiently.

  In addition, since the book body 1 is provided with two comics in which the character element b is written in different languages, the right binding comics 4 and the left binding comics 5 of the book 1 are respectively provided. Can be enjoyed as a comic book by itself, and it is not necessary to carry two books such as the original and translation books one by one as in the past. You can read and compare these two comics, so it is easy to carry around, and even if you place it on a desk and read it, the space is not bulky (you only need one book), and for example with one hand Hold the book and open the specified page of the right-binding comic book 4 with the other hand, or open the specified page of the left-binding comic book 5 and read and compare them (contrast different languages A and B). For example, the present invention can be used without a desk. Read anywhere feel free not selected, such as the language learning can be performed well, so that Xiu is the convenience.
